<p>Honestly, the only thing that really hurts you is your GPA because it’s on the lower side… Hopefully your letters will override that at duke, though. Emory and duke are stretches but I think the rest are matches</p>

3

<p>Well Duke will be seeing the 3.89, is that still low?</p>

4

<p>Duke: High match (because you used ED on Duke)
Emory: Low match
Vanderbilt: High match
UNC: High match (if OOS)
Furman: Safety
GA Tech: Safety
UGA: Safety</p>

5

<p>Ty, what about NYU or WashU?</p>

6

<p>Duke will not be seeing the 3.89, they will be seeing your individual grades and recalculate it to unweighted, which brings it back down.</p>

<p>Colleges couldn’t care less about your weighted GPA. Duke expects that you take the hardest classes offered, which renders w GPA useless.</p>

7

<p>I have taken all the AP classes I can that my school allows, and I have gotten high As and one B, also the reason my GPA is low is because of Spanish, however I took 3 years and pushed through it, do you think they will notice that?</p>

8

<p>Also Walrus, my chance for the colleges?</p>

9

<p>It’s false to assume that colleges don’t look at weighted. UCs have their own way of weighting, where only the best eight honors and AP courses are counted towards the weighted GPA.</p>

<p>Virginia Tech doesn’t care about unweighted if a weighted GPA is provided and only looks at UW when a weighted one isn’t provided.</p>

<p>NYU: Low match
WUSTL: High match
UWA: Safety</p>

10

<p>Catria can you define high match and low match? High match = high chance?</p>

11

<p>Anyone explain, high match low match? Etc.</p>

12

<p>High match = high chance of rejection (more likely to get into than a reach)
Low match = low chance of rejection (more likely to be rejected from it than a safety)</p>

13

<p>Catria what can I do to increase my chances for Duke and Vandy?</p>
